Bunmi Laditan, a mother, author and blogger, sent an email to her 10-year-old daughter's school, WJW reported, telling officials that "my kid is done with homework."
Laditan told teachers she is allowing her daughter Maya to cut down on her work because she is “very stressed” and has begun experiencing chest pain, WJW reported.
Laditan, a contributor to the Huffington Post whose next book, "Confessions of a Domestic Failure," will be released May 2, said children need to wind down after school, just like adults do after work.
Maya “is in school from 8:15 a.m.- 4 p.m. daily,” Latidan writes in her Facebook post, “so someone please explain to me why she should have two-three hours of homework to do every night?
“How does homework until 6:30, then dinner, then an hour to relax (or finish the homework) before bed make any sense at all?”
Laditan’s Facebook post, containing a portion of her email, has received more than 68,000 reactions and more than 18,000 shares.
